Mobile phone range again

We loved the state forest so much we stayed another night. Caitlin was in heaven and we were very relaxed. It rained alot and we could only do some small walks but noticed the difference between the forests we are used to and these. The forest was rain forest with lots of Stag horns and...

Beautiful Eumundi

We found our way to Eumundi which is a beautiful market set amongst heritage listed fig trees. There is heaps of good food and lovely crafts and it weaves amongst the trees and timber buildings. I loved it and Glenn was in heaven as there was lots of healthy (vegetarian) food which he sampled...

Reunited!

For all you loyal readers who were waiting on pins and needles, I've reunited with Maddy, Joc, Vivian, Carl, and Dave in the beautiful Grampians region in Victoria. Maybe it was just me waiting on pins and needles, after I got off the 4th leg of my 4-hour train/bus trip this morning in a...

Grampians Rock

Although we were hoping to rent an RV from Melbourne and drive to the Grampians and Arapiles, we opted for a minivan and cabin option instead. Turned out to be an awesome choice. Driving on the left side of the road was a bit of challenge, sometimes providing group excitement with occasional...

Hunting Roos in Perth

As we flew over the Indian Ocean on the way to Perth, Angela was still trying to get her head around the severe penalties for drug trafficking in Singapore. Flicking through the 60+ on demand movies that Qantas were offering us for the journey, I’d suddenly hear a sigh, followed by “I just...

Things That Can Kill You #5

There are two kinds of crocs in the north of Australia. Freshwater crocs are harmless to humans, they just mind their own business and live together in peace and harmony. Fucking hippies. It's saltwater crocs we're interested in, they have been known to take humans and they're clever...

Dream World

We had a little trouble finding the Biggera Waters Post office to get our mail which Jacinta had kindly forwarded to us. We found no Post office in Biggera Waters and were directed to Runaway Bay as this was where the Biggera Waters Post Office is ( I was starting to get worried). This was not...

G'Night from Down Under

... and just like that, I'm in another hemisphere. I arrived in Melbourne, Australia this evening after an 8-hour flight from Bangkok. Both Mike and I had early flights leaving from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, so we did what any self-respecting backpacker would do when faced with a...

Day 41 - I CAUGHT...a...SHARK!!

Hello hello, had a really cool coupla weeks so thought it time to write a short 'ish' update. I spent some time with both Aunties, starting with Margy for a few days. Managed to earn a bit of cash helping her with some paperwork - the piggybank needed topping up! We went kayaking one...

Things That Can Kill You #4

Ahh, Cable Beach, Broome's saving grace. With its vast sands, warm ocean and perfect sunsets you have to cut Broome some slack and think that maybe, just maybe it isn't that bad. Unless its October to May when a quick dip might just get you landed in hospital with a box jellyfish wrapped...
